Wednesday

Theater&Lounge "Dominion" host: Jill Scott Upcoming Album Listening event

Candle lite illuminates the entry way into this forbidden hideaway...a sultry poetic voice ignites the room. Who is this you may ask, that I speak of..why it is Jill Scott. The lounge is crowded and loud with much conversation. Photographers constantly snapping away, dipping and diving through the crowd. Its getting close to showtime, so you make your way through a tiny hallway crowded with ladies all dolled up into a majestic like theater. As you enter you are introduced to sounds of the band gearing up....sound check 123.... Jill Scott is the topic of every ones conversation. Peoples curious faces peek and stretch their necks toward the stage all in hopes of that "Lady" we know as Jill. Lights Dim conversation's die down to whispers and the band strikes up a jazzy tune. The emcee for the night comes to the mic and the magic begins! "Everyone I Present to you Jillllll Scotttttt!" All you can hear is screams, oohs,ahhs, and excitement erupts the room! Jill Scott herself serenades us right away with simple exaggerated tunes and ad libs. She then stops to greet the crowd, absolutely down to earth and vibrant. The audience responds back and she goes in on another tune, automatically en wrapping us with her wisdom. Jill stops again to shout out her many collabos on the album two of many Anthony Hamilton and Spanky her drummer whom is currently touring with Lady Gaga. We are taken a back when she tells us her story of being "dickmatized" lol Whoa! The spectacular moment of the night is when Anthony Hamilton joins Jill on stage every ones jaw drops. Magical indeed her show was, she blesses us with one of her old singles "Is It the Way You Love" All of us sing along. She ends off with telling is fair well and the happiness she feels to be a mother which surprised alot of us cause we had no idea she was a mom... Jill Scott is inspirational. CCTM had the pleasure of intercepting beautiful faces of Liris Crosse, photographer Johnny Nunez, radio personality Ms. Drama, Anthony Hamilton, socialite Bevy Smith and also our client Keenyah Hill..there were so many people there. It remains a night to be remembered.
